Heart failure patients that get an evaluation of their heart

Proper treatment of heart failure depends on how your heart is pumping. A test is done to see how well the left side of your heart is pumping blood to the rest of your body. This indicator shows how many patients diagnosed with heart failure get this test.

Heart failure patients prescribed appropriate medications

ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme) inhibitors and ARBs (angiotensin receptor blockers) are beneficial to patients with heart failure. These medicines are used to treat patients with heart failure. They work by lowering blood pressure thus lowering the workload of the heart. This indicator shows how many patients are given these medications.
